Shadowplay 0 #1 September 22, 2003 When does student status end? Is it at the end of AFF or is it until you get your A license? I overshot on my level 5 yesterday and landed on the runway . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 September 22, 2003 It sort of depends on your DZ. Looking at the SIM, you're a student until you have an A license.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
surf4life11 0 #3 September 22, 2003 When you get that little yellow card filled out and stamped that says you have your A-license is when you are officially off student status. Blue skies! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Casch 0 #5 September 22, 2003 It can depend on the DZ. At Kapowsin, you're off student status when you've completed 20 jumps and a graduation dive (A license check dive). Then the prices drop to up-jumper price and you can finish up your license. But not all dz's do this. Just call up and ask your DZ about it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeNReN 0 #6 September 23, 2003 I concur with freaky.....always learning.....getting off "student" status to me means being self supervised.....now i have to go find a jm to jump with instead of having one assigned to me....(hey ...I know ya wana go freefly...but...I'd love a little help with.....followed by a big lost look) Enjoy your student status and suck up every second of instructor time that u can........After all instructors dont want to go do fun jumps...they perfer to stay belly to earth and help ppl like you and me.
